There are plenty of ways to monetize money from playing games (https://medium.com/@hannguyen94/how-to-make-money-from-playing-games-2019-a4f9feb37c11) nowadays:

Swagbucks

These points can be redeemed for gift cards or Paypal cash (5,000 SB = $50).

Play Dapp Games

Since the penetration of Blockchain technology into the new era of Games Industry, the ability of making money from playing video games has never been easier.

Dapp Games (https://www.hb-wallet.com/post/how-dapps-revolutionize-the-entire-games-industry) have accentuated the true definition of digital ownership and game monetization. Gamers can confidently invest their time and effort for returns without being concerned about undesirable scenarios such as service termination, system manipulation or irrecoverable gaming costs, etc. These issues occurring in traditional gaming are inevitable and when they happen, gamers are the ones who get hurt. Indeed, game distributors keep the authority to all game decisions. They can possibly terminate their services anytime due to low revenues and lack of content. Gamers who have poured a considerable amount of money into these games, often feel obligated to accept the hurtful fact that they are going to lose all achievements.

In 2017, the cost of an extremely rare sword item on Lineage fell drastically from $100,000 to $30,000, in 2017, because of an influx of cash items brought in.

In contrast, Blockchain offers gaming a non-manipulable and transparent virtual world, where the digital asset ownership is issued. The format of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) as game items enables players to validate the scarcity and value of their assets, therefore, easily monetize them in the marketplace regardless of any authorities. Dapp Gaming is a great opportunity for you to make big profits from a booming business model via blockchain.

Cryptokitties (https://www.hb-wallet.com/post/how-to-play-and-monetize-your-cryptokitties) is the first mainstream-oriented blockchain game built on the Ethereum network. The game is considered to help popularize and prove the value of a new class of digital assets which are cute digital kitties in form of NFTs (ERC-721 tokens).

In Cryptokitties, you can buy, bread and sell your “own” kitties in any NFT markets such as HB NFT Market or Opensea for Ethers. Each kitty is a unique piece of artwork with provable scarcity. Some kitties are more sought-out than others for some certain reasons, which can be sold up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. On December 2017, a kitty named Genesis was sold for 246.9255 ETH (~$117,712 USD), becoming the most expensive Cryptokitty ever sold in the game.

Etheremon (https://www.hb-wallet.com/post/etheremon-how-to-play-and-monetize-on-hb-wallet) is also one of the most accessible and delight-driven ways to experience blockchain gaming. Remember the Pokémon series? Etheremon is similar to that. In this world of digital monsters, you can catch, train, evolve your ‘Mons’ to defeat others and trade them for good payoffs. It’s absolutely a great way to not only reminisce our childhood but also take action on our favorite characters, become a great trainer and earn profits as rewards for our effort.

According to the Etheremon market history, Zedakazm was sold at 13 ETH (~$2,912.83), becoming the most valuable Mon ever sold. Some Mons such as Resurvy, Liscious and Flaraton were originally bought at less than 0.1 ETH, but made 40–50 times in return from their initial investment.

In Dapp Games, you can become an investor with verifiable digital ownership, aside from experiencing compelling gameplay.

With robust features and an entire built-in marketplace, you can buy and sell digital assets directly and securely via HB NFT Market (https://www.hb-wallet.com/nft-market) or smart contracts on HB Wallet.

More specifically, HB Wallet’s chat feature enables you to send and receive NFTs instantly while chatting via 2 options: Direct Sending and Smart Contract. The feature initiates the ability to send gifts to your friends, or negotiate and place a request before trading.

HB Wallet also allows users to buy cryptocurrencies seamlessly with Credit Cards or Debit Cards in a few simple steps. The feature is powered by Simplex — a fintech company that provides globally fraud-free payment processing.

By playing Nagemon Gacha Drop (https://www.hb-wallet.com/gacha) — a game that enables users to request a random gift once everyday on HB Wallet FOR FREE, you will have a chance to win Ethers or Game Items (ERC-721 tokens) from well-known Dapp Games such as Gods Unchained, Etheremon or Crypto Motors, etc.

Create a Youtube channel

Becoming a Youtuber is no longer just a fun hobby, but a serious business to a part of our society. In fact, many people choose the platform to develop their careers and get paid in different ways. As a gamer, it’s possible for you to earn passive income by creating your own Youtube channel.

Lots of people often look for video walkthroughs to help them get passed difficult levels and boss battles. Youtube is for sure their primary help resource to find such videos. Accordingly, you can be the go-to person who shows them how to beat the game.
Another idea is to become a Youtube streamer. This practice has become popular since the mid-2010s. Professional streamers often combine high-level play and entertaining commentary while live-streaming their video game play.

Via these practices on Youtube, you can earn money from advertisements, sponsors, subscriptions, and donations. However, this only happens once you have a fairly good amount of followers and enough traffic to your channel. More specifically, to become a Youtube Partner, you will need 4,000 hours of watch time in a 12-month period and 1,000 subscribers. This can take some time to build up such loyal viewership.

Be a Twitch streamer

Twitch is a live streaming video platform known as a Youtube alternative. This platform is dedicated to video games. After creating your own channel, you can interact with other gamers while live-streaming your gameplay. Partner Program on Twitch allows popular content creators to share in advertisement revenue generated from their streams. Twitch users can subscribe to Partnered Streamers’ Channels for $4.99 per month in order to have access to unique emoticons, live chat privileges and many other advantages. According to this, with every $4.99 subscription to your channel, Twitch retains $2.49 and the remaining $2.50 going directly to you as a partner streamer. Additionally, you can also make money from advertisements, promotions and sponsorships based on your streaming schedule and average concurrent viewership.

Create a blog

Creating a blog can help you generate a new income stream by helping others play games based on your experience.
Via your blog, you can target on a franchise of games such as Fortnite or Call of Duty and share your own reviews, guides, tips and videos of how to play and rule the game. After driving good traffic to your site, it’s practical to recommend game products and accessories to earn yourself some affiliate income. You can even create and sell your own products and guide books to your audience.

Sell accounts on PlayerAuctions

PlayerAuctions is where you can earn money by selling your game accounts. After spending efforts on playing and getting your accounts valuable, it’s time to cash in on selling them to the highest bidder.
You can sell your accounts for a wide range of games, from action to sport games, even popular RPG franchises like Runescape and Final Fantasy.


Compared to other ways I've mentioned, do you think playing Dapp Games is an easier way to make money?

Game Items in Dapp Games could become a great value over time associated with the growth of the game. As you said, the ownership is issued in Dapp Games, so I think that's what makes Dapp Games worth a try. Your assets in other platforms can be easily manipulated, but not in blockchain.

What a pitty that Swagbucks is only for american people, I know many satisfied users that are earning around 300USD monthly by doing simply tasks.
Other ways I need to try, thanks for your recommendation.

No biggie friend. Used to do Swagbucks but the income is kind low so gotta think of the other way to rack it up.

i believe that these are the best things that the internet has brought to us millenials, because of the internet, we got new jobs and opportunities now that never existed before. And people who do not want to embrace the change will suffer.

I've actually made quite a lot of money by investing in and playing Splinterlands (formerly Steem Monsters)
Joined their kickstarter and pledged $50, in return I got around 10 valuable trading cards which I've sold for around $500 in total.

That was the most I've ever made from one of these DApp games.

Wow, that's actually a significant return don't you think?  ;)

Indeed. Adoption brings more opportunities to ourselves. Esp in technology terms. They are meant to support our lives in many ways.

I am reading all the parts and information about Dapps. It's quite interesting tool especially for games. Needs to stay playing also very soon.

For sure. The sooner the better.

I believe it is not easy to make money on such games. Even if it is stated that there is a withdrawal opportunity from paypal, how long do you need to play this game to earn 50 bucks worth of crypto? I think it is the same as farming :)

It depends on the game you play and the items you hold. Popular games like Cryptokitties or Gods Unchained have a high volume of players so the trading market must be more efficient and in demand. There are some specific features of the game items that people are looking for. Most of them could be limited editions or misprinted artworks. You can read this article for a few examples of those features in the game Cryptokitties (https://www.hb-wallet.com/post/how-to-play-and-monetize-your-cryptokitties?fbclid=IwAR2O7vCb7A1svcI_j1jfX1YtG_nhdISLCHLIMM5Y4hst64yLL3VMM9cS6aA).

   I play DrugWars for months already, game on Steemit. Strategy and simulation game where you earn DWD tokens, you can trade with this tokens later if you want.
You earn some little amount every day depending from rank and your drug production and you can deposit drugs in heist, where you can extra DWD tokens.
   Nice and free game to play, but it`s slow if you don`t invest nothing like me. I waited long time to get to level where I am, and I think I will need months more to have
higher drug production. Only like that you can start making some money with this game.

Thanks for sharing this. In DApp Games, investors earn high profits by buying cards or breeding the creatures that they know people will yearn for, similar to baseball cards.

Well technology changed everything, our way of living and even ourselves. It make things much easier now, we can play and earn money at the same time, i'm looking forward to try this. If people doesn't want to adopt this change then let them its their choice, maybe because they are already contented on their lives and we can't blame them.

So far i choose blogging or became youtuber, this is more profitable with me. I made around 10 website and most of them give me around $1000 each month. I still thinking to move to steemit blogging because of their reward using crypto.

I still looking game with crypto rewards with genre RPG/ MMORPG and still not get it. My friend play cryptokitties and also HB Wallet but i still not interested with those game.

For me earning on Dapps is much risky strategy than investing into altcoins. As many others I also played cryptokitties, I bought very expensive kitties and tried to sire the best ones but but unfortunately nobody wanted my kitties, do not understand why.  ::)

Swagbucks is now a Dapp game?
I personally love Tron because their network is enough fast to provide a good gaming experience.  8)

I am looking forward to play Dapps on QuarkChain sharding network. You will be able to pay transaction fees (GAS) in the Dapp token. So finally all of these Dapp tokens will get a real use.  ;)

You didn't mention about EOS Knight ? I was playing and got the EOS coin.
EOS Knight is a game where you can sell materials and equipments in EOS coin. There are other dapp games as well, but i only interested with EOS dapp games.

looks interesting maybe I'll try later, at this time I only tried dapp from trx and even then mostly only dapp games specifically gambling, eos knight might be interesting.

Many DAPPs are really making great progress since the beginning of the year, a good example was pivot that had a great support from a large community of users. Users who joined earlier and devoted their time on the platform were able to accumulate some bitcoin and the native tokens of the platform. The trick to making money on Dapps is joining early and remaining committed to the platform.
